A. Throat Shifting Thrust Modulation
B. Shock Thrust Modulation
C. Shock Vectoring Control
D. Scarfed Nozzle Thrust Modulation
Answer» B. Shock Thrust Modulation
5.

Assertion: Oxygen addition in the control flow gases of solid rocket engine will result in a higher characteristic velocity of the exit jet.Reason: Because of secondary combustion, stagnation temperature and pressure increase. Higher stagnation temperature results in exhaust jet characteristic velocity.

A. Both assertion and reason are correct
B. The assertion is correct but the reason is wrong
C. The assertion is wrong but the reason is correct
D. Both assertion and reason are wrong
Answer» B. The assertion is correct but the reason is wrong
